Love Is Blind UK star Ciara Murphy has hit back at online backlash just days before her Netflix wedding is set to air.
The Pilates instructor, from London, is among 30 singles who entered the famous pods in hopes of finding ‘The One’. Just like past contestants, Ciara went on a series of dates without ever laying eyes on her partners.
The goal was to build a strong emotional connection that doesn’t rely on physical attraction, and Ciara sparked more than one. She quickly connected with Jack Bradshaw and Ajay Cheema, but ultimately got engaged to Ajay.
But her love story has caught viewers’ attention for all the wrong reasons. Many have complained about Ciara’s luxurious expectations for her partners.

In the season three premiere, the 29-year-old made it clear that she has expensive taste when it comes to dating, revealing that a man once spent £15,000 on a first date with her.
Netflix’s description of the Londoner also confirmed her requirements, stating: “Ciara has a taste for luxury, which manifests in extravagant brunches, dinner parties, and at least three dates a week with eligible bachelors whom she expects to pull out all the stops.”
Viewers at home have since gathered online to slam her expensive standards. Now, the reality star has silently responded to critics in a social media post.
On Sunday afternoon (August 23), she re-shared a supportive Instagram story from journalist and fan of the show Jason Okundaye. The post simply reads: “Everyone hating on her when she’s the realest on the show idc [I don’t care].”
